@JayDee Pretending to be another writer to write crazy fun shit does sound like a good idea. Especially when it comes to the more populated fandoms. So does that mean when you stop writing crazy fun shit, you’re gonna change again to not rile up crazy fun shit fans? Though why anyone would go from violent GoT Mpreg and tentacle shenanigans to boring vanilla and republican politician celebrity WAFF (that’s the shift I’m imagining, btw) is beyond me. 
@Desiderius Price I… I actually am considering that now. Thanks a lot. My original plan was to pick a pen name to spite my brother’s accusing me of ‘Identity Politics’ as if it’s a bad thing. Spite seems like a good, meaningful way to go. But… Naughty Priests are so much more fun.

@CloverReef Might I suggest you try “Naughty Priest” ?

@JayDee What direction did you go/will you go with a new penname? Something similar to JayDee, or just whatever you feel connected to?

I changed mine in what 2005? something like that. Might change it again some time if I start writing again. I already had to use a different one on fanfiction.net anyway because JayDee was taken so I am kind’ve half there already.

Well, starting out any war on a full stomach is a good idea.

I’ve changed it once before, but that was a different situation. Pretty much to get the hell out of dodge when toxic people in my old fandom had me in their crosshairs. It wasn’t that big of a change back then though lol. From Chlover to CloverReef. 

Yeah my new name is likely going to be drastically different from CloverReef. But I haven’t built up a fan base and my name would be the same on the forums. I was mostly just worried about the people currently reading my chaptered story being able to recognize it under a different pen name, so thought I might want to wait until I’m done posting it. That’ll at least give me time to decide whether I really want the name I’ve chosen or if it’s just, you know, a passing fancy. 

I say change it. CL changed her pen name, and it was fine. 
I, on the other hand, will confuse far too many people who don’t know me as anything BUT Bronxie or BW.  It sort of makes me want to change it, just because I’m contrary today.

Well crap… I’m screwed. lol where’d this come from?

Yeah I miss having that little window in on the front page of the forums. Now I forget the chatbox exists because I don’t see it!

A very Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating, and may your feast be fabulous!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you, and my sincerest sympathies to any working in retail for tonight/tomorrow..

@Tcr I found a coroner’s accident report while researching the woodchipper (for my story), it used the word “morselize” and the biggest piece was the penis. 
@BronxWench Have a cup of hot cocoa, should help.

Lol @Desiderius Price! Well my dad's gay so he might be a little confused by that message. And if you're trying to make me shudder it worked!

Something about them priests I hope, DP  I love naughty priests. 

The holiday fic might have naughty priests, though the successor to Dale’s Game might have them too
 

I’ve been considering one, but no, haven’t written it yet.  I was toying with another halloween one, but I forget what it was about… have to write it down once I remember.  (It’s been floating in/out of consciousness.)

Step one, dispose of the plot bunny and wait for it to germinate in the refuse pile
Step two, cut the seedling down, wait for it to become a oneshot
Step three, cull the oneshot and see it bloom into a chaptered story
Step four, smoother that story to see it become a full universe with lots of stories and backstories….
Step five, set auto-destruct and abandon universe
Step six, pray that nobody else realizes that their universes were infected from yours.

I know, right? Sometimes I wish all I wrote were oneshots, but they’re so much harder than chaptered, and don’t get to delve as deep into the characters, unless you use the same characters in another story. 
Now I have a craving for salsa flavoured pringles… Damn it. 

I only figured it out recently too lol. Trial and error. Because just asking someone made too much sense for me. 

u_u *puts on Dunce cap* thank you @CloverReef {heh, it works}

Put @ then their name

I was a lot like JayDee, except without the booze. I actually hated it on principle, because in my family we had an automatic dislike for anything too mainstream and I thought it was all just blah relationship drama. Then a few years after, while it was in its season… 5? Or 6? I dunno. Near its last season. I just suddenly started watching it and ended up bingewatching like crazy! Which was easy kuz like every single channel was playing reruns of it. 
But then I got sick of it again lol. Mostly Ross. I got sick of Ross.
